The Bakunawa is a serpent-like dragon in Philippine mythology. It is believed to be the cause of eclipses, earthquakes, rains, and wind. The movements of the Bakunawa served as a geomantic calendar system for ancient Filipinos and were part of the shamanistic rituals of the babaylan. It is usually depicted with a characteristic looped tail and a single horn on the nose. It was generally believed to be a sea serpent, but are also variously believed to inhabit either the sky or the underworld.

  • バクナワ(Bakunawa)とは、巨大な海竜としてしばしば表現されるフィリピン神話セブ島の伝承の神。 冥界の神である。月食の原因であるとしばしば考えられた。おおきな口がある巨大な海竜として、湖のほどの大きさ、赤い舌、ひげ、エラがあり2対の翼を羽ばたかせる。1つの翼が大きくて、もう片方の翼が小さい。翼の色は灰色で体の下側に見られるという。 バクナワに関する神話として、日食・月食の原因であるとするものがある。古代のフィリピン人は空を明るくするために天空神バサラ(Bathala)によって創造されたという「7つの月」があると信じていた。しかし月が飴玉のように見えておいしそうだったのか、バクナワは海から現れ空を飛び、口を大きく開け月を6つ飲み込んだ。飲み込まれた6つの月はバクナワの体内で溶けて行った。 (ja)
